re: Insomnia. What can I do about this? Will I die?

I’ve dealt with insomnia several times over the years. Terrible to be exhausted and wide awake at the same time. A few things have helped, ultimately it always ends up going away.

Stay away from screens of any sort for a minimum of one hour before you go to bed. Phone, iPad, TV, etc. don’t even use the blue light mode, just stay away.

Stay away from alcohol as well. Especially as you age, it’s a massive barrier to sleep.

Others have said it, but it’s great advice. Exercise and hydration are highly important to get your sleep rhythm back in phase.

Sometimes I’ll take a CBD / Melatonin gummy to help. I like them for getting into a deep sleep, but can affect wake up the next day.

Stress management is another key to good sleep. Most times insomnia is a side effect of stress and anxiety. If there’s something you do that helps you wind down, definitely make sure you’re doing it, as long as it’s not alcohol.

Good luck, insomnia is a bitch, but eventually it’ll pass.
